  Cat DV and PPro workflow concerns?

  Posted by Alex Udell on July 20, 2011 at 8:59 pm

  As I understand it, Cat DV, similar to, but deeper than Bridge allows a lot cataloging, marking, and tagging of assets. You can then query your library and then drag and drop you found set into you NLE. (there are other features too, but they are a little more specific to FCP)

  Since Adobe introduced the Media Browser starting CS4, this is the recommended method for importing material from file based workflows, particularly from material based on structured folder sets (like MXF for example). Basically it allows them to translate these various folder structures back into browsable material. It’s also particularly important in dealing with material where clip media may have been spanned across folder sets (which happens often in the case of P2 material).

  So let’s say you do your initial library query in CAT DV, and it returns a found set, some of that found set is of the MXF variety….

  I should be able just drag and drop in to the project panel in PPro? Skipping the Media Browser?

  Seems like that would be problematic with spanned clips from MXF sets.

  Anyone out there using CatDV with Ppro that can talk about this?

  I have asked on the Cat DV forum as well.

  Thanks,

  Alex
